David Harrison is back for this special episode as we look ahead at the NBA postseason! We start off looking at the big trade deadline moves to see how much of an effect they’ve had on the playoff picture. Has getting Luka Doncic really elevated the Lakers to a title contender? How has Jimmy Butler sparked the Warriors’ hot 2nd half? How crucial were some of the smaller moves?

Then, we talk through some of the big storylines from the post-All-Star break NBA. The Grizzlies and Nuggets fired their head coaches despite being in the thick of things. How will these moves help or hurt them this postseason? Also, Nikola Jokic became the 3rd player ever to average a triple-double for an entire season. Is that more about how much better he’s gotten or how little help he has?

We also try to figure out why nobody seems to believe in the Thunder or the Cavaliers despite their impressive seasons. And we try to figure out if there will be any surprises in the East! Tap in as we cover all of that and more!
